Here's some of what Edward said to me in my dream:
"Bella I want you to be happy with anyone if I can't be with you. You were right about vampires having souls Bella you would not believe the stuff I have gotten up to in the short amount of time I been here. I have some very important things that I need to tell you. You will remember this all when you wake up.
Trust everybody that is with you in that house nobody else except your Aunt Maria. It will take you a while before you let the Cullen's back into your life but that is to be expected I'm sorry to say that I was a part of controlling you for so long I just wanted you for myself. Carlisle and Esme are going to play you for a while when they do eventually catch up with you. It's time that I let you do what you want for a change.
Alice is going to try and come after you soon she seems to think that Jasper, Peter and Charlotte are keeping you under some sort of spell to make you believe them and everything they are telling you. Just follow what you think about everyone and you will be fine.
Alice wants you by her side for her own selfish reasons. I just wanted a mate that's why I did the things I did to you. I have seen your future and everything turns out for the best. You will be a stunning vampire I'm just a little peeved that I don't get to witness it in person.
Ask Jasper to put my ashes into a locket for you so that I can always be with you. He will do anything for you.
Bella I know you want to know how Jasper and you can talk to one another inside you head. That is my power I gave it to you as a present it will work whenever you want it to and has many twists to it. You will be able to control it so if something is said and it doesn't need to be heard by you, you won't be able to hear it. That means you won't be hearing about Emmett's sex life. Believe me that is something that no one should ever have to hear about let alone witness.
Jasper is going to help you so much over the coming weeks and maybe even months. I know how had it's going to be for you as well. Your change will be made out of love. I can tell what you're thinking no you won't 'die' a virgin. The way it goes will be something else entirely. There is no easy way to say this Bella but you are going to be raped soon I just wish that it could be avoided. Rosalie will help you through it. Once she tells you her story you will understand her better. Make sure to tell her that he's where he belongs. She'll understand what you mean by that you will as well.
If you ever need any help or just needs to talk to me just say my name and I'll be right with you. I will continue to watch over you until you see fit to not need me anymore. You will be able to see me at all times but when you can't see me I will always be close. The only time I won't be with you is when I have to be somewhere else but I will always tell you before I disappear.
Wake up now, love."
I sat upright in my bed and looked around the room. I was in my new room in the new house that we were living in.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom took care of my needs and went to see what everyone was doing downstairs.
"Bella you should still be in bed." Charlotte said coming over to me.
"I know I should but my dream woke me up." I said looking for everybody else.
"They had to go to the store to get food for you and clothes as well. Emmett and Rosalie had to go feed as well. They want to try the human diet and Randall went to try a wild animal. They should all be back shortly." Charlotte said leading me to the couch. "Why don't you curl up on the couch for a little bit and when they get back you can tell everyone about your dream?"
"How did you know about my dream?" I asked terrified of her answer.
"Let's just say after everybody got out of range that was when the dream started and I was the only other person here and you unknowingly projected it to me." Charlotte said hugging me to her.
"Just so where clear you know that Edward is dead right how can he just do things like that?" I asked.
"Who knows you might want to ask him when you see him next. Don't worry I won't tell anyone about that little bit of information. A lot of what was said in that dream of yours will be a secret between the three of us. And by that I mean you, me and Edward. You just tell them enough that they want to hear if at any stage during it you want me to take over you just say the word and I will." Charlotte said. "I just wish there was some way that we could stop that thing from happening to you. Everyone is almost here. You ready?"
"Can you tell them the important bits please I don't think I can say any of it." I asked trying to cuddle into and make it all not true.
Everybody soon walked in that included Edward as well.
"Charlotte he's here with us." I tugged on her arm to get her to look at him.
"I see him as well. Don't know why though. I have absolutely no connection to him what so ever." Charlotte whispered in my ear.
"Charlotte you can see me because you will be the one I come to when that bad thing happens." Edward said.
Charlotte and I just looked at each other shocked. Jasper come over and asked us what was wrong but Edward shook his head as if saying, 'don't tell him that you can see me'.
"Nothing's wrong Jasper. Bella just had a dream and we figured something out that was said in the dream that actually made it all the more real." Charlotte told him.
"Everybody please come into the living room so that we can tell you about Bella's dream." Charlotte said in a voice slightly higher than normal but below yelling.
"I will be telling you about her dream because for one I was sucked into it in a manner of speaking and two it has lots to do with some things that are going to happen very soon." Charlotte started. "Edward Masen came into Bella's dream to apologise to her for his behaviour towards his action towards her over the years.
I call him Masen because he no longer wants to associate with the Cullens' you didn't see that bit Bella but it actually happened. Now something is going to happen to Bella that not one of us has any control over it cannot be avoided. Edward actually said that so we have to believe him when he says that."
"Please tell me he didn't actually tell you what I'm thinking he told you?" Peter said suddenly.
"Yes Peter it is exactly what you are thinking." Charlotte told him after Edward nodded to her sadly, just before she continued telling them about my dream. "He also said that Alice is going to come for Bella because she wants to start her own army of gifted vampires up. She wants to use Bella to take over from the Volturi. At least that's what I concluded from the dream anyway.
Alice has been waiting patiently for something like this to happen for years and she can't wait any longer. Hopefully when Alice comes to try and take Bella she follows his advice and not what she thinks is best.
She then turned to me. Bella I know you don't trust us but we have the very best intentions for you and we will never use you against your will which is what she wants to do with you.
Yes Edward I will tell everybody what you want to happen. Everybody Edward has giving me his power until such time as Bella is ready for it. That means no more secret conversations Jasper. Edward is amongst us until I get a full handle on the power and then he is going to leave. He will stay out of the way until then but if something were to happen to me than Bella doesn't get the power and all of Edward's hard work goes down the drain.
'It's a lie Bella and you know it this is just so everybody thinks that I'm just crazy for a little while. But seriously he wasn't kidding about it blocking shit you don't need to hear.'
Now everybody needs to figure out how we are going to be keeping me and Bella safe for the next couple of months or whenever it's time to turn Bella.
Now Bella can't go back to sleep because Edward will just take up her time again and she needs real sleep so we may as well start planning what we are going to do about everything else. Yes Peter that includes that as well. There is no way around it."
"What would happen if I was to put her to sleep?" Jasper asked.
"Edward says that the only time he will come to Bella is if we are the only two around and no one else is here." Charlotte said looking towards Edward.
"Hey Charlotte, why do you keep looking at that wall, is there something we should be aware of?" Randall asked.
"That's where Edward is standing. If he was alive and I wasn't with Peter then we would definitely be together." She said winking at Edward.
"Is he blushing Charlotte?" I said looking at him as well.
"Why yes he is Bella. Oh Shh Edward it's a compliment. Bella honey remember to be careful you don't project." As soon as she said that I remembered that I could project and stopped myself from doing it.
"What do you mean project?" Emmett said.
"Bella can project what she wants to anybody that is how I saw her dream. But in the end I just got sucked into it but she never saw me because she was paying Edward too much attention even when he was talking straight to me she still didn't see me." Charlotte said.
"Do you mean to tell me that I should pay more attention to my dreams Charlotte so that I don't miss anything?" I asked her.
"Yes Bella in your life as well in case we miss something that we may need to know down the track." Charlotte said.
"Wow I have a lot of responsibility coming onto my shoulders. I don't know if I will be able to handle it." I said.
"Bella when you go to sleep when Jasper puts you under in a few minutes we will work on your shield so that Charlotte has some insight into your head and she will catch things that you miss." Edward said.
"Jasper why don't you put her to sleep and we get some planning done and Bella can get some much needed sleep." Charlotte said after Edward told me about shield training. "Don't worry Bella I will be with you every step of the way in your training. Who else is going to test to see if it works?"
"I hate you both for doing this to me. Edward you are a pain in the ass now that you're dead. Charlotte you just have to take his side in this don't you?" I said standing up and I started to pace between where Edward was standing and Charlotte sitting on the couch.
"Isabella Swan you will behave yourself or something bad will happen that no one has any control over and we don't want that to happen now do we?" Edward said.
I looked over to where Edward stood and whispered 'fine'. "Just for the record I hate you Edward Masen." I yelled at him.
"Tough luck." Edward sneered as I started feeling sleepy.
"That's it Bella don't fight it. Go to sleep and when you awake we will know what to do about everything." Jasper said as he comes over giving me a heavier dose of the sleepy vibe.
Not long after I was back with Edward.
"Now Bella we are going to try and figure out what kind of powers you have and how to use them. Now you have mine, Alice's, Jasper's and Peter's. They are all the people that we know that you have come into contact with. As well you also have a bit of James and Victoria's gifts. What you don't know if you have a lot of vampire gifts in you and they all need to be unlocked in a way. You have the gift of illusions; you also have the gift of zapping as Kate would put it. Let me think who else has come in close contact with you over the years. Well the Volturi you have just about every gift that they have there. So that's life reading, relationships, freezing, pain, connections, tracking, physical shield there are more but I would have to remember them all.
You might want to ask Peter, Charlotte and see if he can remember all the powers that were there on the day we were there.
What happens now is we try and work out if you can pull anyone else into this 'dream'. I want you to concentrate on Rose and try and get her in here.
Hello Rosalie
Edward what the hell is going on here?
Bella just pulled you into her 'dream'
Why would she do that for we were trying to talk about stuff that she wouldn't understand and I need to be in that discussion?
No you don't Rose you need to be here because in the not too distant future Bella is going to need you and there is nothing no one can do that will stop it from coming to pass.
Are you telling me what happen to cause me to turn is going to happen to her?
Yes Rose that is exactly what I'm telling you. It's not going to be as bad as what happened to you but it will happen and nothing anyone does will stop it from happening. The person will find her no matter what you do
How do you know all this Edward aren't you supposed to be dead?
Why yes Rose I am dead and I found out all this stuff after I died. I'm just glad that I died before Bella's Aunt could get a hold of me. I would have been in a world of pain. That woman has torture down to an art. I feel sorry for Jasper he's going to cop it when she finally gets her hands on him. She will go a bit easy on him for killing James and Victoria but for not killing me he's going to be harshly punished.
Why would Jasper be punished for something that he had no control over?
Rose her aunt is Maria of the Southern Covens. I 'tasted' her niece and didn't turn her. Jasper is going to get it because he should have stopped me from doing it but what he didn't know at the time was that they are related. Just as well he had both James and Victoria in a lot of pain before they died or else he would be dismembered for months and not fed for a year after he was assembled again. As it stands now he's only going to lose a certain body part for a few months and then made to stick to animals for few weeks after that so he feels more of the pain. He is also going to be put in charge of the newborns again I can't wait to see his face when he gets told that it's going to be priceless. Getting off track here Rose what other people do we know have powerful gifts that Alice would be able to use?
Apart from the Volturi, Zafrina, Kate, you and Jasper we really don't know many others with defensive powers that she would need. Why?
Because Alice wants to take down the Volturi and be in charge of the vampire world. It was her idea that we use Bella from the start as she saw her as a sponge. No offense Bella. I'm still trying to figure out where the shield of yours comes from.
Mary, that nomad that we met what was it about 25 years ago. Remember when we were moving from New York to Alaska or was it the other way around. I can't remember now. She was a shield so Alice must have got her to cross paths with Bella at some stage before she moved to Forks so that she would have it. Alice must not have counted on Mary having her shield up when she ran across Bella that's why it's always up she doesn't know how to take it down or Bella somehow got it to activate subconsciously and doesn't know how to put it back down.
That's makes sense Rose. Why didn't I ever think of that? See if someone can get a hold of her so that you can have her work with Bella on her shield. Don't notify Kate about her power getting out because she might actually tell Carlisle that Bella has her power and that would bring a world of trouble. Someone try and get hold of Alistair he can probably help with all her other powers. She has a lot and he might be able to help her with her shield if you can't get hold of Mary.
Wow Edward you thought of everything didn't you? I miss you brother even if we had our fights you were still the best brother that I could ever ask for. At least until Jasper turned up that is then you turned into a prick.
I love you too Rose. I miss you and I can't wait till you have all that you want in the world."
Not long after that I woke up as if I had a full night's sleep.
"Rose did you contact Mary and Alistair yet?" I asked her.
"Not yet we were just trying to figure out what other powers you had so we know what to expect from you." Rose said coming over to hug me. "I just want to make sure that you are alright that had to be draining for you to do that."
"I'm better now that I know that I can actually do something that will be able to help everybody instead of sitting on the sidelines." I said as I sat down to have something to eat.
"You'll be sitting on the sidelines for a little while longer sweetheart. We need you at full strength when we battle with everything getting thrown at us." Peter said.
"I just want to find this guy that is going to hurt my little sister." Emmett pouted.
"We have no idea Edward didn't give us any clues all we know is that he meets her here and follows her and gets her alone one time and well you all know the rest of that scenario and we can do nothing to stop it." Charlotte said.
"If we have anyone that start's acting like Newton I'm going to chop first ask questions later." Emmett said.
"That's the best you could come up with Emmett?" I asked.
"Mike Newton stalked you the whole time you were going out with Edward." Emmett said. "He watched you sleep and was in your room most nights that Edward wasn't. Thank god you didn't let out our secret when he was in the same room as you. He tried to subliminal get you to break up with Edward and get with you but Edward and Alice had made it so no one else could control you that way so that is a plus for them. Charlotte I just want to say thank you for being the one to drain him."
"Mike is dead?" I gasped out.
"Yep nasty he was little thing too. He tried just about every trick in the book to get me to sleep with him. He would have stood a chance if I didn't see him hitting on a guy before I killed him." Charlotte said.
"Newton was gay who would have thought it? So didn't see that coming." Emmett laughed out.
"I knew he was gay the whole time we were in Forks. I just never told anybody because it wasn't anyone's business. I also stopped him coming near you Bella a fair few times he came close to hurting you. Jasper was always on hand to wake up your dad when I wasn't there with you at night so thank him for me." Edward said coming closer to me.
"Jasper, Edward says thank you for helping him help keep me safe from Newton when we were in Forks." I told him.
"Don't worry about it I could tell how grateful he was when he got back and saw that you were safe. All I can say is that if Charlotte didn't kill him then I would have and it wouldn't have been pretty if I did kill him." Jasper said. "Edward was always happy whenever he came back from your place.
It was even better when he caught Newton coming out from your window once or twice after he came back from hunting. It was funny seeing Edward just drop out of a tree in front of Newton because he wasn't expecting Edward to be there and to find Edward there well let's just say he couldn't come out with a good excuse for coming out of the Chief of Police's daughters room. He almost got caught a couple of times if he didn't move fast enough.
One time he was so close to getting caught by you that Alice sent me a message just before you woke up and told me to put you back to sleep for another five minutes. He got out quick smart when he thought you were waking up.
I remember the things he would tell you it was something like 'dump Cullen and get with me you don't want to be with that health freak', 'once we get married you and I will have a whole house of kids and you'll never have to worry about a thing again what with my parents store doing as well as it is', 'once were together we are going to rule the school everyone will be envious of me with you on my arm'.
He was so desperate to have you he almost got away with it if it wasn't for all of us keeping an eye on him all the time. He tried to kidnap you a couple of times but we always failed his plans it was so funny that his truck wouldn't start many mornings and he got grounded a lot. Funny thing is he saw us a lot and never said anything to anyone because we had him charmed we controlled him half the time.
He never saw our vampire side though. He came close to guessing what we are a few times but we always diverted him from it or at least Edward did to this day I still don't know how he did it."
"I'm not proud for using myself as a bargaining chip in his life. I told him that if he forgets all about you we would be together at the end of college." Edward mumbled into my ear.
"What did Edward just tell you Bella?" Charlotte said.
"You didn't hear what he said?" I asked.
"Nope." Popping the 'p'.
"It's too personal and I won't let anyone know what was said it's between me and Edward and Edward and Mike. Since I'm the only person alive that knows I'm never telling a soul about it." I said getting up and going outside for a smoke.
"Thank you Bella I know that everybody would hold it against me but you I'm grateful that you are nice to me even if I made your life a nightmare." Edward said.
"Edward you don't need to do that for me but you did. I will be forever thankful and I'll miss you when I can't see you anymore." I said looking at him sadly.
"Bella I'll be with you even then. You'll always be able to see me and have a way to contact me. The only time you won't be able to see me is when you don't actually want to see me. If you didn't want to see me right now you wouldn't be able to see me but I'll always be here. The only place I'm not going to follow you is into your bedroom and the bathroom. Those places are off limits to me." Edward shuddered out that last bit.
